    Hi Honey boy,

    Please open CMD or Windows PowerShell as administrator and run the following commands to ensure all necessary features are enabled.

    dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart 
    dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart
    

    Then run the following command to download the Linux kernel update package.

    wsl.exe --update
